THE FAST MAIL.

A Great Saving to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Train Starts on Saturday.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-It is matter of
some interest in connection with the light
ming mail from New York to Kansas City
via st. Louis that the ultimate effect will be
! reduction in the expense of the Postal De-
partment for the transportation of the
mails. Hereafter very large amount of
mail matter for Kansas City has gone via
the New York Central, Lake Shore and
the Chicago, Burlington q Quincy road
instead OF via St Louis. AS the Govern
ment pays fixed amount per ton per
mile for the transportation of mail matter
the effect of this diversion of mail to the long
route via the lake was to considerably in
crease the cost of transportation. From
New York to Kansas City via Chicago it is
1,41i miles, whereas via st. Louis it is
only 1,34S. By sending its mail around
the long way, therefore, the Government
was paying for 123 miles of needless trans
portation. By the establishment of the new
lightning mail via st. Louis the expense
of this 123 miles of transportation will be
saved and the New York mail will be put
into Kansas City whole day sooner for
all practical business purposes. There is
cSyen more saving than this, as not only the
Kansas City mail, but great amount of
mail for the whole Southwestern country,
served by the railroads ceptering at Kan
sas City, also went the long route instead
of the proper and natural way, via st.
Louis. In addition to this, a considerable
portion of the mail from New York to
st. Louis was carried arodnd by the
long route in order to swell the compensa-
ton of the railroads operating the fast
mail trains between New York and Chi
cago. BY running fast time these roads
were enabled to carry the mail to Kansas
City. to st. Louis and to otf-er Western
points just about as fast as the shorter line
farther south. The lines were therefore
drained of the mail matter which properly
belonged to them so that it might be massed
upon the Northern line, in order to make it
profitable to run solid exclusive mail
train. The establishment OF the new
lightning mail will put an end to this, and
the matter that belongs to the central lines
will be given than. 1t is stated that the
first train will leave for the West on next
SATURDAY.
